Mack CF Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Im trying to change wheels on my CF. However i see nothing that a steering wheel puller can grab onto, its just a hollow hole the entire way down the center of the drive shaft. Do you just need to remove the bolt that holds it on or is there something else you need to do? Thanks for the help.

Do you just need to remove the bolt that holds it on or is there something else you need to do? Thanks for the help.The correct puller for that wheel looks like a large "C" clamp with a fork to fit around the steering jacket tube at the bottom. You turn the handle on the top bearing on the top threaded portion, and the lower part pulls the wheel free of the splines upward.Most times loosen the upper retaining nut to within about three threads. Place you knees under the wheel rim about 120 degrees apart and pull on the top of the rim with your hand while smacking the center section of the steering wheel through a block of wood with a mallet. Be certain to have a few threads of the retainer nut engaged as when the wheel lets loose of the splines, it will have some force behind it the nut needs to stop.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
